Dreamers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAC DEEFFGGHH| Fools laugh at dreamers and the dreamers smile | A |
| In answer if they any answer make | B |
| They know that Saxon Alfred could not bake | B |
| The oaten cakes but that he snatched his Isle | A |
| Back from the fierce and bloody handed Dane | C |
| - | |
| And so they leave the plodders to their gains | D |
| Quit money changing for the student's lamp | E |
| And tune the harp to gain thereby some camp | E |
| Where what they learn is worth a kingdom's crown | F |
| They fashion bows and arrows to bring down | F |
| The mighty truths which sail the upper air | G |
| To them the facts which make the fools despair | G |
| Become familiar and a thousand things | H |
| Tell them the secrets they refuse to kings | H |
